a_o endeavour_n to_o rectify_v some_o prevail_a opinion_n contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n by_o the_o author_n of_o the_o great_a propitiation_n and_o a_o

of_o mr._n bull_n be_v propound_v a_o three_o way_n to_o reconcile_v the_o apostle_n paul_n and_o james_n what_o my_o thought_n be_v of_o mr._n bull_n be_v way_n you_o will_v here_o see_v i_o think_v he_o have_v in_o the_o main_a speak_v right_o concern_v the_o sense_n of_o saint_n james_n but_o i_o think_v mr._n gataker_n have_v give_v the_o right_a interpretation_n of_o neither_o and_o judge_v that_o i_o have_v say_v enough_o in_o my_o book_n forementioned_a to_o make_v it_o appear_v and_o so_o have_v mr._n bull_n in_o he_o i_o grant_v and_o lament_v it_o that_o many_o important_a doctrine_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n be_v frequent_o by_o too_o many_o gross_o explain_v so_o as_o to_o have_v ill_a consequence_n follow_v from_o they_o which_o if_o right_o explain_v will_v be_v find_v not_o to_o patronize_v but_o to_o disow_v such_o consequence_n and_o hence_o many_o learned_a man_n see_v the_o intolerableness_n of_o such_o consequent_a opinion_n and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o extricate_v themselves_o deny_v important_a truth_n and_o maintain_v such_o opinion_n as_o these_o follow_v which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o great_a part_n of_o mr._n bull_n be_v book_n oppose_v and_o will_v make_v a_o intolerable_a change_n in_o the_o very_a substance_n of_o the_o body_n of_o divinity_n viz._n first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o law_n that_o threaten_v future-death_n or_o promise_a future-happiness_n but_o the_o gospel_n or_o law_n of_o grace_n second_o that_o the_o jewish_a law_n or_o law_n of_o moses_n have_v only_o temporal_a promise_n and_o threat_n and_o require_v only_a external_n obedience_n which_o yet_o you_o will_v see_v i_o grant_v in_o one_o limit_v sense_n of_o it_o to_o be_v true_a three_o that_o no_o law_n of_o god_n whatsoever_o require_v perfect_a obedience_n and_o so_o no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o live_v perfect_o or_o free_a from_o sin_n four_o and_o that_o for_o this_o reason_n because_o no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v what_o he_o can_v do_v which_o reason_n be_v only_o true_a in_o a_o sense_n nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n but_o it_o be_v dangerous_o false_a to_o deny_v a_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v what_o he_o can_v do_v in_o another_o sense_n viz._n upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o moral_o insuperable_a wickedness_n as_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o at_o large_a show_v five_o that_o for_o any_o evidence_n we_o have_v from_o scripture_n to_o the_o contrary_a man_n after_o conversion_n or_o after_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v live_v perfect_o or_o without_o sin_n or_o do_v as_o much_o as_o any_o law_n of_o god_n require_v from_o they_o six_o that_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v something_o that_o if_o deny_v to_o man_n enjoy_v the_o gospel_n they_o will_v be_v excusable_a or_o blameless_a in_o not_o obey_v the_o gospel_n also_o these_o follow_a exposition_n will_v alter_v the_o very_a substance_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o most_o important_a part_n of_o scripture_n first_o that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v not_o dispute_v against_o justification_n by_o perfect_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n as_o be_v impossible_a to_o man_n in_o this_o life_n second_o that_o our_o lord_n in_o the_o 5_o of_o matthew_n do_v not_o vindicate_v the_o law_n from_o corrupt_a interpretation_n but_o add_v to_o it_o make_v that_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o that_o never_o be_v so_o before_o take_v notice_n i_o charge_v not_o this_o last_o mention_v exposition_n as_o maintain_v by_o mr._n bull_n though_o it_o be_v by_o many_o other_o and_o though_o it_o must_v follow_v by_o consequence_n if_o what_o he_o maintain_v be_v true_a viz._n that_o moses_n law_n have_v no_o internal_a precept_n i_o judge_v what_o i_o have_v here_o write_v may_v be_v of_o use_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o those_o in_o dispute_n and_o many_o other_o passage_n of_o scripture_n and_o for_o the_o confutation_n of_o many_o dangerous_a opinion_n or_o i_o shall_v not_o have_v permit_v
